Way back in 2012 I posted about one of my favorite dishes in Charleston, SC, Seafood a la Wando at Hank’s Seafood. It is indeed still one of my favorites. The crispy grit cakes, the fresh seafood, the rich buttery cream sauce. Oh and mushroom, bell pepper and green onion add earthiness, color and crunch….

Husk Restaurant in Greenville, SC (UPDATED 2020)
My “review” of HUSK Greenville. I talk about two dinners, a brunch and a lunch. With Photos.
Copycat P. F. Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps
We don’t eat at P.F. Chang’s much any more. Not because it isn’t awesome, but because where it is located. Crazy traffic, crazy people in crazy traffic. We avoid that area. The two things I miss the most are the Kung Pao Scallops and the Chicken Lettuce Wraps. Even the Veggie Lettuce Wraps are awesome….
Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin, Seared Okra and Pimento Cheese Grits
Super easy and impressive meal you can make on a week day, no problem. This was actually inspired by several meals I’ve eaten at restaurants. The bacon wrapped pork came from Soby’s and I’ve blogged before (Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin). The pimento cheese grits I had at Distilled at Gratz Park Inn. The seared okra…
Pan Roasted Snapper, Goat Cheese Soufflé, Spicy Tomato Jam, Garlic Braised Baby Spinach, Citrus Sake Butter
Recently I posted about a meal I had while on vacation at Boshamps in Destin, FL. I liked it so much I decided I’d try and make it at home. I made a few modifications to better suit my palette. You can see my original post for the Pan Roasted Gulf Grouper with Feta Soufflé,…
Healthy Baked Fish and Chips, Vinegar Braised Greens and Tartar Sauce
My wife told me she was craving “fish and chips”. What she meant was like fish sticks and fries but of course when I think fish and chips, I think the English fried fish and chips. As I’ve stated numerous times on this blog, I don’t have a fryer. It is my excuse to be…
Pan Roasted Gulf Grouper with feta soufflé, braised spinach, tomato jam and citrus butter at Boshamps
UPDATE: I made my own version of this. Check it out: Pan Roasted Snapper, Goat Cheese Soufflé, Spicy Tomato Jam, Garlic Braised Baby Spinach, Citrus Sake Butter When traveling, being the foodie that I am, I thoroughly research the local restaurants. I look at reviews, check menus and ask locals for suggestion. On a recent…
Panera’s Thai Chopped Chicken Salad Recipe
The Thai Chicken Salad from Panera Bread Company is one of my favorite salads. It is fantastic. It has everything I look for in a great meal. Crunchy, a little heat, a little sweet, sour, tangy and lots of savory. The dressing, the peanut drizzle… nom, nom. I would say, I love this salad, so…
Pork Stir Fry, Braised Bok Choy and Brown Rice
We love our CSA, but we can only eat so much bok choy. This year we’ve receive quite a lot. This sent me off to find a recipe to use up a whole head. I came across a recipe for Pork and Bok Choy Stir Fry, and as usual, I tweaked it a bit. I…
Soby’s Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin with Mashed Potatoes, Broccolini and Habanero Butter Sauce
Soby’s was one of the first upscale restaurants to open up on Main Street here in Greenville, SC. We’ve had a number of important dinners there, including our wedding dinner. As long as I have been going there, one of my favorite meals has been the bacon wrapped pork loin with broccolini, mashed potatoes and…
